Building mounted micro-wind turbines and photovoltaics have the potential to provide widely applicable carbon free electricity generation at the building level. Photovoltaic systems are well understood and it is easy to predict performance using software tools or widely accepted yield estimates....

This paper discusses the key findings of the pole-mounted turbine (2.5-6 kWp) component of the UK micro-wind trial. The real world performance of horizontal axis turbines is compared with yield estimates based on site wind speed prediction. The distribution of UK agricultural farms is...

This paper tests the steps required to transform a theoretical natural capital/ecosystem service framework for soils into an operational model. Each of the services provided by a volcanic soil under a pastoral dairy use are quantified and valued. The six guiding principles underpinning the...

New Zealand pastoral soils have the potential to develop water-repellent conditions irrespective of regional climate and soil orders. The aim of this study was to improve the understanding of the temporal dynamics of soil water repellency (SWR), the mechanisms leading to this transient soil...

Exact closed-coupled scattering calculations have been performed for the system HD-He employing the H2-He potential obtained by Shafer and Gordon transformed to allow for the shift in the centre of mass for HD. The decay and production effective cross sections related to the viscomagnetic effect...
